Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade instead of soaking the joints.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. One set-up for several trades saves money.
Facade sealing in Portlethen Village
Managing agents and owners in Portlethen Village ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. The approach doesn’t change with the size: old sealant out, faces cleaned, depth set and a new bead tooled in. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. We work on shopfront frames, stone and brick facade joints and cladding panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are leaks at window and door perimeters and patch repairs that keep failing. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Portlethen Village tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.

Facade sealing in Portlethen Village: the local picture
Portlethen Village sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Projects in Portlethen Village follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. The mastic package follows the approved specification.
For contractors on a campus like Robert Gordon University, 4.4 miles north of Portlethen Village, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Blackhill Industrial Estate - B Block (0.8 miles north of Portlethen Village), the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. School extensions, at buildings such as Portlethen Primary School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included.

When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Window and door perimeters
- Shopfront frames
- Coping and flashing joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
On site: what to expect
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. For a building near Portlethen Village, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Preparing the site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Common questions from Portlethen Village clients

Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?

What happens if it’s left?
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing now costs less than repairing interiors later. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Surface by surface
Render and coated surfaces
Rendered and painted facades need a sound edge for the sealant to bond to. Loose coatings are cleaned back first.
Cladding panel joints
On sealed panel systems, every joint keeps water out. We cut out failed joints along their full length and rebuild them with backing and a facade-grade sealant.
